Fatal accident this evening on state road 442 connecting Uras to Nureci.

The victim was an elderly man from Nureci: his name was Antonio Dessì, known as Nino. He was 80 years old and a retired driver. A 75-year-old woman who was with him was injured.

The two were driving an electric minivan parked on the side of the road because its battery was flat. They stopped in a particularly dark area when a Fiat Punto arrived and hit the small vehicle head-on.

The impact was extremely violent: Dessì was thrown from the passenger compartment, along with his female passenger, and died instantly.

The firefighters, emergency medical services, and the Carabinieri responded immediately to the scene. The injured elderly woman was taken to San Martino Hospital with critical condition, but her life is not in danger.

The driver of the Punto was injured.
